📅 Schedule Your Consultation 🐾Meet Shawn Housman — Your Dog Trainer in Lewes, DE
Shawn Housman is a certified dog trainer with a deep passion for animals and years of hands-on experience helping dogs and their families across Lewes and Sussex County. Mentored by Cesar Millan, Heather Beck, and Cheri Lucas, Shawn's training philosophy began in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and has since grown into Zen Paws Training — a program built around understanding dogs' natural instincts rather than forcing obedience.
What sets Shawn apart is simple: she doesn't just train your dog — she teaches you how to lead. Through structured walks, in-home sessions, and off-leash pack experiences, Shawn helps families throughout Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Milton, and the surrounding Delaware coast build calmer, more confident dogs and more peaceful homes.
We Speak to Your Dog in a Language They Already Understand
Most dog trainers rely on treats and repetition — useful, but often temporary. At Zen Paws, we use canine psychology to address the root cause of your dog's behavior, not just manage the symptoms.
Understand the Root Cause
We assess your dog's behavior, triggers, and environment — not just the symptoms.
Train in Your Home
Sessions happen in your Lewes, DE home — where real behavior actually occurs.
Build Lasting Results
With post-training support, progress holds long after the final session ends.
Every session happens in your home and neighborhood — Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Milton, and across Sussex County. No facility, no travel stress, no distractions. Just real results in the real environment your dog lives in.
Canine Psychology — Not Treats
We communicate with your dog the way they naturally understand — building real leadership, not food dependency.
